'''Abuse response''' (AR), previously '''abuse reports''', was a Misplaced Pages process by which volunteers could respond to issues of persistent vandalism or disruptive editing from IP addresses. The process involved (1) taking note of persistent abuse from a particular IP address or group of IP addresses within the same network, (2) compiling a report based on the IP(s) contributions in order to demonstrate the pattern of abuse, and (3) making contact with the ISP or network responsible for those hosts, usually via the abuse contact listed in the ] data for the IP address(es) in question. The general exclusionary rule for AR was that the report needed to concern an address with at least five blocks, one of which was recent. |
|
'''Misplaced Pages:Abuse reports''' is a centralized forum for the reporting and investigation of abuse complaints, related to ]-specific vandalism, to be reported to service providers, particularly schools and universities. Please be aware that this is ''not'' an official contact system put in place by the ], but a volunteer-run process to counter vandalism. |

AR was officially retired in November 2013 after a long decline in activity. This process suffered from serious problems. The report compilation process was involved and time-consuming, and as such a great volume of reports were listed but never had reports compiled. At the time of AR's closure in 2013, there were pending reports dating back to 2011. It is still possible for administrators and vandal fighters to contact ISPs, schools, and employers on their own, but they should be sure to note that they are only a contributor and not employed by Misplaced Pages or the ]. Many ISPs, schools, and employers are cooperative, while many others are not. |

'''Please note: ''You cannot report user accounts here (they'll be removed on sight)! For persistent logged-in vandals, please go to ].''''' Because the purpose of this is to report violators to their ], usernames cannot be traced back to their providers and so will not work. |

'''DO NOT LIST IP ADDRESSES WITHOUT A SIGNIFICANT HISTORY OF VANDALISM!''' We will not go through with these requests. Make sure that the IP in question has been blocked ''at least'' five times in recent history, or the request will be rejected. Please do not clog up this board with such requests; the report will not go through. '''For vandalism that is occurring now, please visit ].''' |

==If you need help== |
|
|
If you need help with either submitting an abuse report or processing an abuse report, please ask on the ] page. You may also wish to directly message members of the team. A list of active team members may be found on the ]. Feel free to also contact members on their talk page. |

|
|
:''The processing of an Abuse Response case has three phases.'' |
|
AR cases are a three step process: |
|
|
|
|
|
*Alert: An attentive user notices a trend of vandalism from a given IP, runs a ], determines that the IP is registered to a school, a government agency, or other body that is likely to respond to an abuse report, and reports the IP here. |
|
|
|
|
|
*Under investigation: Once made, an alert is picked up by an investigator, who begins an investigation and compiles a report. |
|
|
|
|
|
*In Contact: Once a case has been investigated and a report prepared, the case is passed to a contactor. The contactor then attempts to contact the provider or organization responsible for the IP address. The contactor explains the situation to the organization and points them to the prepared report. The contact remains in contact with the organization, most likely by email, to answer any further questions or provide other requested information. |
|
|
|
|
|
Once the contactor has made contact with the provider, the case remains open as long as contact continues. If the provider successfully resolves the complaint, then the contactor closes the case, with a summary of the result. If the provider is unwilling to cooperate, the contactor notes the case, and closes it with a summary. |
|
|
|
|
|
==Volunteering== |
|
|
For a list of current Abuse Reports volunteers, or for information on how you can help with the Abuse Reports project, please see the ]. This process depends on helping hands just like you - and no administrator powers are required! A ] is also available. |
|
|
|
|
|
==New Alerts== |
|
|
''Please follow the instructions below. Please do not list IPs that have only made a few edits (unless they are part of a bigger case), as only severe, continuing vandalism should be listed here. |
|
|
|
|
|
To report an IP address |
|
|
|
|
|
# In the text box below, replace <code>'''IP'''</code> with the IP address you are reporting and click the <code>'''Report IP'''</code> button. For a range of IP addresses, use the format <code>'''127.0.0.x Range'''</code> and for two or more ranges use the format <code>'''127.0.0.x and 192.168.0.x Ranges'''</code>. When reporting ranges, please replace the digits that are different with an x in the title of your report. There's no need to report different ranges if the IP addresses are sufficiently similar or run consecutively, 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.10.1 as an example (these could be reported as <code>'''192.168.x.x Range'''</code>). |
|
|
# Edit the resulting page, including entering the IP number in the {{tl|IPvandal}} template and provide a summary of why you believe the IP address(es) requires attention. Please use an {{tl|IPvandal}} template for each IP address you are reporting (this is especially important when reporting a range), list the name of the provider (from the whois report), and briefly summarize the situation. Sign your comments with <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code> in case the investigator needs to contact you for clarification, and save the page. |
|
|
# '''''', adding the following text above the most recent nomination (replacing <tt>IP</tt> with the IP address you're reporting): |
|
|
#: <code>'''<nowiki>*] |
|
|
</nowiki>'''</code> |
